The last decade has seen the demonstration of the first small and medium scale quantum computing devices. The demanding requirements for quantum computing have led to several different competing platforms using different physical qubit technologies. One promising approach encodes qubits in internal states of neutral atoms, which are trapped in an optical lattice contained in a vacuum cell [1]}. Such atomic lattices promise long qubit coherence times, controllable interactions, and identical qubits; however, perhaps the most attractive feature of an atom-based quantum computer is the ability to scale to large numbers of qubits. This trait arises from flexibility and ease of construction of large optical lattices using the mature technologies of high-power lasers and various light patterning devices such as holograms and spatial light modulators (SLMs). Optical lattices composed of \(>1000\)  traps have already been demonstrated[2]}, [3]} and arrays with more than 300 deterministically positioned atoms have been achieved[4]}. Lattices with \(>10,000\)  trapping sites, based on existing technology, can realistically be anticipated in the next few years.
